Who doesn't love an artistic and powerful lesbian vampire!?\n\n---\n\nThanks to Lily LeBlanc for our theme song: www.lilythecomposer.com\n\nBuy some delicious coffee from our sponsors: www.recesscoffee.com\n\n----\n\nResources:\n\nAttack of the Leading Ladies: Gender, Sexuality and Spectatorship in Classic Horror Cinema by Rhona J.
